Sara is just soft and easy to talk to .. she has a very quiet way of looking you right in the eye and really cares... She's always there when I need her.. [redacted] Best Hospital Around
Smart, organized, good communicator, focused. Very much appreciated these. Unsure she can/is allowed to provide specific personal guidance applying science to individual situation beyond generalities if/when issues arise. Not often but when it counts.
